Question

Jocelyn estimates that a piece of wood measures 5.5 cm. If it actually measures 5.62 cm, what is the percent error of Jocelyn's estimate?2.13%2.18%12%46.83%

Answer 1

is d

Explanation:

Answer 2

2.13%

Explanation:

Inaccurate measurement = 5.5cm

Actual measurement = 5.62cm

Difference= actual - inaccurate

=> 5.62 - 5.5

Therefore, the measurement Jocelyn obtained is off by 0.12cm (difference)

Note: error = difference

% diff = error÷ actual measurement × 100

= 0.12/5.62 × 100

% diff. = 2.13 (to the nearest decimal place)
